Take Care of Yourself
Navigating Life's Maze: Clones of Clones' Poignant Plea
Lyrics
Ever since I was a child
Reflecting on childhood experiences
I never wanted anything
Content with what was naturally available
I wasn't offered
Did not desire things not offered
Then I started seeing things
Perception changing, gaining new perspectives
That I never saw before
Noticing previously unseen aspects of life
Grew up big and tall
Maturing physically and potential for setbacks
Potential for a fall
Acknowledging the risk of a downfall
I couldn't stop it
Unable to prevent or control certain outcomes
Then I started seeing things
Continued revelation of new perspectives
That I never saw before
Experiencing novel aspects of life
Then I started seeing things
Reiteration of encountering new perspectives
Like I never saw
Emphasizing the impact of these revelations
I need you
Expressing a need for someone
To take care of yourself
Requesting the person to prioritize self-care
I need you
Expressing dependence on the person
To take care of me
Requesting care from the person
To take care of me
Reiteration of the need for care
When I don't
Highlighting personal vulnerability
GI Joes in place
Referencing childhood toys and games
The games we used to play
Nostalgia for past playtime activities
When we were younger
Recalling activities from youth
The image still remains
Memories still influencing present thoughts
The TV looks the same
Noticing similarities in the environment
Yeah, the TV looks the same
Emphasizing the unchanged nature of certain things
I need you
Repetition of the need for someone
To take care of yourself
Reiterating the importance of self-care
I need you
Repetition of dependency on the person
To take care of me
Reiterating the request for care
To take care of me
Emphasizing the ongoing need for care
When I don't
Highlighting moments of personal incapacity
I need you
Reiteration of the need for someone
To take care of yourself
Reiterating the importance of self-care
I need you
Repetition of dependency on the person
To take care of me
Reiterating the request for care
To take care of me
Emphasizing the ongoing need for care
When I don't
Highlighting moments of personal incapacity
